The wall spike is used when the pull of the wires are oblique to the wall. If the pull is perpendicular the bracket could be pulled out of the joint it is driven into, so a different type of bracket must be used in those situations, such as a No.5 flattened out. The hole accepts all types of spindles
The spike is made from 1¼″ x ¼″ Wrought or Mild Steel with a Galvanised finish its total length being 8″.
